PDSA Pet Day
Join in with our Centenary celebrations and help sick and injured pets.
In November 1917, Maria Dickin, CBE, opened the first ‘People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals of the Poor’ vet clinic. More than one hundred years later, we’re still carrying on Maria’s life-saving work.

Why is PDSA so important?
At PDSA, we believe that every pet deserves to live a happy and healthy life. As the UK's leading vet charity, through our UK-wide network of Pet Hospitals, we work tirelessly to improve pets' lives, through prevention, education and treatment.
Every year our dedicated teams carry out 1.8 million treatments. We can only do this thanks to people like you.
